Excellent

We were two families each with three children staying for 14 nights. The villa really was home from home and we all soon settled in! Gill and Chris were just so lovely, very welcoming and always happy to help! We all really enjoyed our stay. All the homely touches much appreciated. The villa is equipped with everything you could possibly need! Plenty of space for us all!!

The information books and maps of all the surrounding areas were just brilliant. Thank you very much.

The children spent many a happy hour playing table tennis.

We found a gorgeous pattesiere just 5 mins drive in vilobi d'onyar where we all enjoyed fresh crossaints and coffee each morning. 😊򒠊

Our favourite beach out of the many we visited was llafranc. Beautiful! Well worth a visit.

We also loved Girona which was only a 10 mins straight forward drive with easy parking .

Barcelona not far...we went by train which was so easy. Chris helped us with the timetable!

Many thanks again to Gill and Chris for all their help in making our holiday most enjoyable. Thumbs up from us all....

Owner's Response: Thank you for taking the time to review our house and your holiday. We were delighted to meet you all and very happy that you enjoyed your stay here in Catalunya. We would love to see you all again. Thank you for leaving our house in good order, much appreciated. Saludos all.

Excellent villa, very well equipped for families, very friendly and helpful owners. Fab location!

We loved the villa and its location, great for visiting the surrounding area. Dog friendly, plenty of space for all in and out of the villa. We all had a fantastic holiday and enjoyed the meal that the owners cooked for us on our arrival. Air conditioning would have been nice, but we managed with the ample fans provided. Couldn't fault it!

The Perfect Holiday Home

We stayed with four adults and three children, six and under, for an all too short 6 days. The house provides an impressive amount of space and facilities and is close to attractions such as Girona and the Beaches. The location is fantastic, only 15 minutes from the airport but with virtualy no aircraft noise - all we could hear was the amazing birdsong.

On arrival there was a warm welcome and plenty of food for us to get started. There is a wide range of toys for children (and grown ups!). The pool is another great feature.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your review. You were a delightful group; it was lovely to meet you all and we are happy that you enjoyed your stay this summer at our house. We are sorry that one of your children developed a chlorine sensitivity and hope that some of our advice helped. We do try to keep a clean pool and check chlorine levels regularly. We would love to have you stay again. With best wishes.

Wonderful house

We were a group of 12 friends, including children, who periodically go on vacations together for 2 weeks, and do some biking and lots of eating. This house is as comfortable as shown on the web page and worked very well for us.

The spaces are large enough for a large group, and comfortably furnished. There are enough different places, that you are not confined to your room if you want a little privacy. The outdoor eating area was great. The internet and TV and other facilities worked well.

The hosts were extremely accomodating and friendly. The grounds well kept. The area nearby is quite pretty for both walking close by, as well as for road biking.
